Anna-Karin Karlsson Sunglasses

Anna-Karin Karlsson sunglasses: sunglasses as jewelry, available at Céline Roland Opticien Lunetier

Few eyewear houses dare to assume such a level of extravagance. Anna-Karin Karlsson has made it her signature, and it is precisely for this reason that Céline Roland Opticien Lunetier has chosen to carry this Swedish label in its stores in Mulhouse, Colmar and Riedisheim, as well as on its website. Here, a pair of sunglasses does not simply protect the eyes: it becomes a true fashion accessory, conceived piece by piece like a jewel.

A frame, a work of art: Anna-Karin Karlsson design

What strikes you first about Anna-Karin Karlsson is this bold blend of glamour and graphic precision. The lines are clean, almost architectural, yet they dress resolutely feminine and opulent volumes. The designer loves to play with eras, borrowing from vintage as much as from more contemporary codes, to create frames that seem lifted straight from a film or a haute couture collection. Motifs also hold a central place in this universe: butterflies, feathers, felines and flowers regularly adorn the temples and lens rims, giving each model a strong and immediately recognizable identity.

Materials: when eyewear flirts with jewelry

It is impossible to talk about Anna-Karin Karlsson without mentioning her choice of materials. The brand works with 24-carat gold-plated titanium, white gold, rose gold and Japanese acetate as the foundation of its frames, before enriching them, on certain models, with pearls, emerald stones, hand-set crystals or even diamonds. This level of exigence is not merely an aesthetic argument: it also guarantees exceptional lightness when worn and outstanding longevity over time, two essential qualities for a pair of sunglasses worn regularly.

Silhouettes recognizable at first glance

It is hard to mistake an Anna-Karin Karlsson frame for any other. The brand cultivates sculptural, often oversized shapes, combining enveloping curves, worked volumes and octagonal silhouettes. These frames, designed for women who are not afraid to attract attention, reinvent themselves with each collection through new colorways and new ornaments, always drawn from an animal, floral or resolutely contemporary universe.

The claw detail, the house's true signature

One detail particularly sets Anna-Karin Karlsson's creations apart: the claw. On many models, the hinge connecting the temple to the front is no longer a simple discreet mechanism but a sculpted piece, fashioned in the shape of a metallic talon clasping the lens. This motif, rendered in gold or silver-toned titanium, recurs across entire collections such as Claw Aventure, The Claw & The Nest and The Claw Pilot, whether the frames are round, pilot or octagonal. Far from being a mere technical detail, the claw is designed as a piece of jewelry in its own right and allows an Anna-Karin Karlsson frame to be identified at a glance.

The brand's must-haves at Céline Roland Opticien Lunetier

Two models particularly capture the attention of our customers. The Claw & The Nest, with its clawed frame and octagonal lines, embodies the couture spirit of the house, from deep black to gilded finishes. Claw Aventure, for its part, wins over lovers of bold, graphic pieces designed as true jewels to be worn in full sunlight. Both references rank among the best-sellers in our Anna-Karin Karlsson selection.

A Swedish designer turned global reference

Before launching her own brand in the early 2010s, Anna-Karin Karlsson made her debut at a very young age in one of London's oldest optical shops, then refined her expertise within several renowned fashion houses. This dual training, spanning optical craftsmanship and a couture vision, explains the distinctly singular personality of her collections. Identified as one of Sweden's most promising designers from the very start, she now sees her creations distributed in more than fifty countries and worn by prominent figures from the worlds of fashion and entertainment.
